Hi everyone! I can’t believe this, but I have never posted an article on one of the most famous moments in Sealdom: the night the streaker skated on to the Coliseum ice and into hockey history. What an oversight! Usually, I’m much more alert than that, but hey we all make mistakes; that gets rectified today! The incident in question, which many of you have already read about, happened during the last game of the 1973-74 season, April 5 to be exact. You can read all about the streaker and find out her identity right here, or, if you haven’t done so already (You’ve got some nerve, mister!) you can go one better and pick up a copy of my book, which goes into great detail about the night in question.

In keeping with this week’s “blue” theme, might I interest you in this week’s Overexposed card. As you probably already know, the Washington Capitals are beginning the defense of their 2018 Stanley Cup championship this week, and to commemorate what is the hardest thing to accomplish in hockey – winning back-to-back titles – we go back in time to when the Capitals employed another goaltender, who is now toiling for the up-and-coming Colorado Avalanche. This week, we present an awesome error card featuring Semyon Varlamov, and before you ask, yes, that is how you spell his name. What, you don’t believe me? (Again… some nerve, mister!) Go check out his card for yourself.

That’s about it for this week. Come back soon for more hockey-related history and insanity, and don’t forget to check out some of the less-known corners of the site, including the Ultimate Seals Quiz, the Seals-related Book Reviews, and the Frequently Asked Questions. You can also vote for the person or people you feel should be inducted into the Seals Hall of Fame in 2019. You can vote up to three times per device, and the winners will be revealed in July when Golden Seals Hockey celebrates its fourth anniversary. Until next time, stay gold!
